2.130 (Non-Critical) – Minimum age requirements.
Seventeen puppies from five litters were sold and sent home with their new owners prior to being 8 weeks/56 days old. Puppies transported or sold in commerce before 8 weeks of age may cause additional stress and increase risk of health problems. Ensure puppies sold or transported in commerce are at least 8 weeks of age (56 days) and have been weaned. To be corrected by: 31-October-2024

3.6(a)(2)(ix) (Non-Critical) – Primary enclosures.
Several painted wood posts on the indoor side of the adult dog primary enclosures have been heavily chewed. The facility representative states they replace posts in the fall and spring. Heavily chewed surfaces cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized effectively and if not repaired can affect the structure. Ensure these posts are repaired and maintain posts in a manner that can be regularly cleaned and sanitized at all times. To be corrected by: 20-November-2024

3.13(a)(1) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The attending veterinarian has not completed the regularly scheduled 12 month site visit. The facility became USDA licensed on 24-August-2023 and the attending veterinarian has not done a site visit since prior to that date. Regularly scheduled site visits are essential in determining if all aspects of animal care (nutrition, health, environment, water, and air quality, etc.) are being provided to the dogs. The licensee must have regularly scheduled visits, not less than once every 12 months, by the attending veterinarian to the facility where animals are kept, to assess and ensure the adequacy of veterinary care and other aspects of animal care and use.

3.13(a)(2) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.

The dogs not examined were Aggie, Frankie, Frannie, Clarabelle, Clyde, Chili, Josie, Vada, Elsa, Martha, Rocco, Dolly, Dixie, Darla. Failure to have each dog examined at least once every 12 months may result in delay of treatment and diagnosis for disease, illness, or injury. Correct by ensuring that a complete physical examination from head to tail of each dog by the attending veterinarian is conducted not less than once every 12 months. To be corrected by: 25-November-2024

3.13(b)(4) (Non-Critical) – Veterinary care for dogs.
The licensee could not provide medical records of three dogs (Lottie, Otis, Dexter) physical exams done by the attending veterinarian. Failure to document all routine examinations and the results may interfere with the ability of APHIS officials to determine if the dogs are receiving adequate veterinary care. Medical records must be maintained and include the dates and findings/results of all screening, routine, or other required or recommended test or examination. Ensure that the results of all examinations are recorded and ensure that medical records are complete and contain the required information. To be corrected by: 25-November-2024 This inspection and exit interview were conducted with licensee. n
